Kite rushed out of the shower to help.

He understood a ride-on mower had sparked the blaze, which took hold in the garage.

The family's first focus was to check their dog and children were away from the area and, in that time, vehicles parked in the shed were damaged. It's understood there were no injuries to people or pets.

Thick, black smoke was coming from the garage and reportedly spread to the nearby Norton Road roundabout.
